Ok. How about
BOOST_CHECK_PRC_DIFF BOOST_CHECK_REL_DIFF BOOST_CHECK_EPS_DIFF
How about
BOOST_CHECK_ABS_DIFF
for absolute difference comparison?
Oh please no.... too cute and cryptic by half, they're not self-explanatory at all.
How about a compromise:
BOOST_CHECK_PERCENT_DIFF BOOST_CHECK_RELATIVE_DIFF BOOST_CHECK_EPSILON_DIFF BOOST_CHECK_ABSOLUTE_DIFF (do we need this one?)
I "need" it - as an example, I'm using absolute diffs to verify that the outcome of conversions back and forth between different coordinate systems are correct within a certain amount of (length) units. As I've mentioned in another place in this thread, I'd personally prefer to have the type of difference check encoded at the end of the macro names. A matter of personal taste, I guess. I assume that the WARN/REQUIRE variants would be added as well? / Johan
